Fikso

Fikso means setting in esperanto.

Fikso is a minimalistic configuration library for Node.js.

It's tested. It works. Beware, it's in alpha.

Installation

npm install fikso --save

Usage

Example

import fikso from 'fikso'

// declare settings in the global scope
fikso.set({
  companyWebsiteUrl: 'http://adrianodigiovanni.com'
})

// declare settings in a nested scope
fikso
  .scope('production')
  .scope('mysql')
  .set({
    user: 'root',
    password: 'root'
  })

// declare settings in a deeply nested
fikso
  .scope('production')
  .scope('mysql')
  .scope('master')
  .set({
    host: 'localhost'
  })

const settings = fikso
  .scope('production')
  .scope('mysql')
  .scope('master')
  .get()

console.log(settings) // { companyWebsiteUrl: 'http://adrianodigiovanni.com', user: 'root', password: 'root', host: 'localhost' }

Scopes

You define and address nested scopes by chaining calls to scope.

Scopes are arbitrary. The example above shows you scopes pertaining to

• environment (production)
• service (mysql)
• instance (master)

Define settings in a scope

You can define settings in a scope by calling set.

If you call set or get on fikso, you define or access settings in the global scope.

It is not permitted to override settings for a scope.

fikso.set({ isGlobal: true }) // it's ok
fikso.set({ isGlobal: true }) // will throw

Retrieve settings

You can retrieve settings in a scope by calling get.

Caching scopes

const scope = fikso
  .scope('production')
  .scope('mysql')
  .scope('master')

scope.set({
  host: 'localhost'
})

console.log(scope.get()) // { host: 'localhost' }
